Paige M Etcheverry-Barnes

I needed a lawyer quickly and she stepped up, noted I was getting screwed on a TRO and offered to help at a fixed cost. Sounded great. Three years of delays and non-existent communication later the only thing I accomplished was getting three years older. An "questionable" restraining order filed i...n 2019 has yet to see a courtroom (that's temporary?). During a recent attempt to schedule I watched in horror as lawyers dickered over a date as a hearing the judge wanted to schedule in December got pushed into April 2023. My kids, who were taken from me under false pretenses and against their will at age 10 and who have asked to be returned to me, will be 14 before that date. She didn't care. When I raised a fuss she fabricated an excuse to drop me. I'll never get back the years. Maybe a little more attention to the case and a little less time at her vacation home in Italy would have made a difference. Communication was non-existent. Occasionally I was forwarded communication from my Ex's attorney but my own inquiries were largely ignored. When I finally reached a breaking point and asked for a meeting, that's when I was dropped. Even that was classless. A face-to-face meeting with a paralegal was cancelled, rescheduled for a later date with Ms. Etcheverry-Barnes, and then again cancelled in favor of a phone call in which she quit. After three years there was no more money in it. What's right or fair took a back seat.

I hired Paige in 2016. She made a ton of promises, and made me feel better. After I hired her and paid her retainer, she waited months to file anything with the court. Fast forward to 2019 when I finally fired her. In those 3 years nothing got accomplished, our case was constantly continued for a myr...iad of reasons. Her office staff, and especially her paralegal Kelly, are just as worthless as she is. No one returns calls, no one returns emails, and you're left hanging. Her office was excellent though at calling and demanding more money, saying they need it in the next 7 days, or they'll file a substitution of attorney form with the court (her office firing you as a client), and also threatening to not show up in court. I spent well over $20k on her services, and got absolutely nothing in return. If you're thinking Paige will really help you, and get some resolution in your case, think again. She makes great big promises that she knows she has zero intention of keeping.

I hired Ms. Etcheverry because I was in the middle of a highly contested divorce case. I have had two other attorneys over the last three years and I can't say enough positive about Ms. Etcheverry. She was always available to me as she gave out her cell phone and answered my text at almost any ...time of the day. She told me exactly what to expect and how we were going to be able to obtain what I wanted . Because of her I was finally able to go finish my divorce case successfully. I am extremely thankful I hired her.

Hired this attorney to represent my mother. She required a down payment of 4500 after convincing us she will fight for our mother. This attorney was supposed to set up a three way meeting with the other party to discuss an agreement. We constantly called asking when she was going to set this meetin...g up. We continued to get her secretary promising us the attorney would get the message and gave us the run around. We sent emails to this attorney with paperwork that was required from court only for her to always claim she never received them. After a year of giving us the run around my mother finally spoke up to the attorney reminding her of all the irresponsibility and lack of representation in a kindly manner, only for this attorney to threaten my mother of discontinuing her services. After milking us of the money we put into her. This was very disappointing. This attorney is very good with convincing you of her services but fails to come through. I wish I would of known better before investing in her.
